Despite careful preparation, unforeseen situations may arise during the process. Your bug reports help us quickly find and fix issues, making your gaming experience more comfortable and stable.

In the near future, we plan to expand the game infrastructure to reduce matching times.

We are already actively working on a number of technical updates aimed at fixing the following issues:

  • Various issues when downloading Escape from Tarkov and EFT: Arena via BSG Launcher and Steam;

  • Various causes of error 228 when interacting with traders;

  • Various issues with incorrect lighting when interacting with traders.

We are also aware that with the Nvidia Smooth Motion setting enabled, some players may experience difficulties when launching Escape from Tarkov. We recommend disabling this setting for a smooth EFT experience.

We understand that this might not be the complete list of the issues that players are facing and the problems that are not included in the list will also be addressed with the upcoming patches.

In the near future, all players will receive in-game compensation: a Bear Classic and USEC Night Patrol set. If these sets have already been purchased, an in-game reward will be credited.
